      We have found best plans for you!! Our advisor will get in touch with you soon.

      Do not make an immediate statement to the police or to any insurance company. Let the police know that you will speak to them later after you have calmed down and sought medical attention. 

      Lastly contact a professional to make sure before proceeding with your matter further. It means that if the party who injured you can show that you were in some way at fault in causing the accident, then your claim can be denied.

      Speed can be used as contributing factors to deny an injury claim. Even if the other party is more at fault than you, it can jeopardize your claim. Most people are not looking at their speedometer at impact. Therefore, mostly people guess at their speed. At the scene of an accident, you may be confused and shocked, be in pain and you may be angry.

      Mostly you may not be accurate and the insurance company will rely on that statement to evaluate your case. Just avoid making any statement at such a painful time. Visit the closest hospital and get a thorough check up done. Make your statement at a later date mainly after you have had time to calm down and reflect. During this course get in touch with your insurer and confirm the coverage and the claim procedure. 

      Your small statement can reduce your chances of getting the claim processed. Keep the steps mentioned below in mind to avoid complexities in case of car accident. 

      • Do not give any statement immediately after the accident.
      • Do not sign anything unless you fully understand what it is.
      • Do not accept the blame if you think it is not your fault.
      • Do not lose your temper.
      • Do not use bad language.
      • Do not behave aggressively.
